It might not be much of a scrap once it gets going but the heavyweight debut of 32-year old cruiserweight king Oleksandr Usyk (16-0, 12 KO) is worth a look. 38-year old Chazz Witherspoon (38-3, 29 KO) looked like a possible contender once but that was well over a decade ago.

"Bad" Chad Dawson vs Grachev also tonight... Just to remember he was once a gem... Now, not so much...

He really was a hell of a fighter for a while. I think he got ruined AFTER the Ward fight. He gets KOed for 1st time and then they match him one of the biggest puncher's in boxing in Stevenson. One part many forget was that they used Edison Miranda for sparring for that fight. No top fighter brings in a guy like Miranda to camp for sparring, his skills are not world class, but he hits like hell. So what happens.... Dawson gets KTFO in sparring right before Stevenson fight. He then gets caught early by Stevenson and has now suffered 3 KOs in 6 mths. Mentally or Physically he was never the same. Dumb move to have him sparring with Miranda who cant help test your skills(im sure Daw won every rd, but last)but can KYTFO.

Forgive my negativity, but on a weekend full of fights, fans have little to get excited about. Chazz and Chad get recycled and Usyk gets to showcase his talents in a meaningless fight. Will be looking hard at the smaller cards and undercards for my action fix.
